How Far Along :: 35 weeksGender :: Boy!Belly Growth :: 44 in.Maternity Clothes :: While I miss fitting in quite a bit of my wardrobe these days, I really have loved dressing a bump! I have always thought pregnant women were adorable and while I don't always feel adorable, I still think clothes look cute!Belly Button In or Out :: In and narrow as can be! Looks like my chance of an outie are out the window. ;)Sleep :: Last night I slept like a dream! I had one of those mornings where my bed felt amazing and I didn't want to get up because it was just so comfy. Best Moment this Week :: OMiss Anything :: Working out! I discovered on Saturday after some serious cramping that my running days have finally come to an end. Don't want to put myself in early labor or anything.Movement :: He moves so much and I love every minute of it. Still the best thing of all about pregnancy and definitely the thing I will miss the most.Cravings :: Seafood chowder, a craving that I have not indulged in for obvious reasons but the ingredients will be in my fridge ready to be made when this baby comes out. (wink wink mom!) Feeling & Emotions :: Anxious!! Tomorrow is October 1st!! Baby's due date is November 1st! That is just so exciting to me! Also, thrilled that my wedding ring has fit throughout my entire pregnancy without any body swelling. I feel pretty lucky!Looking Forward to :: SO many things! What is there not to look forward to?! The first is that the rocking chair Nic has been refinishing for me is almost done! It was mine from when I was a baby and has a lot of sentimental value. I can't wait to rock my little boy in it. The second being our maternity photo shoot coming up. Nic is not thrilled of course but being a trooper about it anyway. I just don't want to forget this time in our lives. Another being my doctor's appointments are down to every week now starting next week to check and see the baby's progress. So close!

Here we are at 34 weeks and while the last 3 weeks haven't zoomed by as it would seem with my lack of updates, my lack of energy has returned and it is all I can do some days to plug my way through the work day. I can definitely say that I couldn't be more excited that tomorrow marks the beginning of Fall... my favorite season and the month we will be welcoming our son into this world!

How Far Along :: 32, 33, and 34 weeksGender :: Boy!Belly Growth :: 43 in.Maternity Clothes :: Still hoping one of these days it will be appropriate to wear maternity leggings to work. ;)Belly Button In or Out :: In and narrow as can be!Sleep :: Sleep? What's that?! zzzzzzzzzzzzz Best Moment this Week :: Over the last few weeks we have been attending a labor and delivery class at the hospital. We have both learned so much and feel a lot more prepared... well, as prepared as you can be that is. We've gotten questions answered that we didn't even think to ask! I could have maybe skipped over the actual delivery video though. ;) Miss Anything :: Sleeping on my tummy and just feeling comfortable when sleeping in general!Movement :: He makes it known that things are getting rather squished in there these days!Cravings :: Pizza and chocolate chip pumpkin cookies! mmmmFeeling & Emotions :: I am feeling ready for this baby to be here. 9 months is a looooong time. People weren't kidding when they said these last 6 weeks seem 100 times slower than the last 8 months. I know I will miss this stage when it is over though so I am trying to soak up these last moments while I still can, especially my alone time with Nic.Looking Forward to :: The upcoming holidays and celebrating them with a baby in our home. :)

How Far Along :: 31 weeksGender :: Boy!Belly Growth :: 43 in.Maternity Clothes :: Somehow, not a single piece of the outfit in the picture above is maternity but I also had to pull that shirt down about 500 times today because my skirt wanted to sit below the bump and the shirt above it. haha So I better just stick to my maternity clothes. ;) Can you tell I'm already sick of them?! Belly Button In or Out :: InSleep :: My usual waking up 3 times a night turned into more like 8 this week due to a sore body. Best Moment this Week :: Passing my glucose tolerance test!!!Miss Anything :: 95% of my closet most days!Movement :: The kicks that follow a yummy meal or rather the party in my belly!Cravings :: kettle corn and a tiger's ear ... can you tell I went to the fair this week. ;) And spinach salads ever since. Pretty glad the fair only happens once a year! Feeling & Emotions :: Completely giddy whenever I think about the fact that we only have 9 weeks left!Looking Forward to :: Our first labor and delivery class we will be attending later this week at the hospital. The post card said bring 2 pillows and wear comfy clothes to class (yessss maternity leggings) and I can hardly wait!
